    I thought propane was a fairly small fraction of naturally occurring hydrocarbons?

    This sounds like an unsustainable short term shift in demand.

      Propane is an easy fraction to fracture especially from NG, and a natural byproduct of gasoline production.

      We make a good bit by accident so it’s pretty cheap.
